If I had been a delegate to the First Continental Congress, I would have agreed to this course of action. Yes, the letter was the correct action to take.

<h3>Here are the reasons why I would have agreed to send a letter to King George III.</h3>

First, this was an injustice. American colonists worked so hard to make a living and the British crown always wanted more money from them.

That is why I should have signed the letter asking King George III to repeal the taxes that violated colonists' rights in the 13th. colonies.

American colonists were upset and tired of the British government. The English imposed severe taxation such as the Navigational Acts, the Stamp Act, and the Tea Act, among many others.

The First Continental Congress was a delegate's assembly held from September to October 1776 in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Delegates from twelve of the thirteen colonies assisted the gathering in Philadelphia.

Some of the delegates who attended the Congress were George Washington and Samuel Adams.

We conclude that if I had been a delegate to the first Continental Congress, I would have agreed to send a letter to the King of England asking him to repeal the taxes that violated colonists' rights.

Whats the historical and dramatic role of the chorus in ancient greek drama
TiliK225 [7]

The chorus fights for the benefit of the entire community and what the choir always says has an argument, just like the replicas of others  characters. Another important part of the choir is to introduce us to the mythical story that tragedy relies on, which is very important to us today because almost every surviving tragedy is based on some mythical story. It is not necessarily a mythical story, but also some real historical event. In this case, the chorus provides us with the necessary information and context without which our understanding of the tragedies would be greatly impeded.

Explanation:

  • If the emphasis was on actors, acting as in a later tragedy, the choir played a purely supporting, supporting role. Sometimes a choir of 15 people stood in three rows of five people each, that is, in five kinds.
  • Comedy choirs often had an even number and had a different schedule, depending on the setting. The choir, sorted by type, enters the stage singing an intro song, and was eventually answered by the exit song with which the action ended. After the opening song, the choir sang stasimon, standing songs sung by the choir after taking their place on stage and which at times had a digressive element.
  • In most cases, the choirist came in front of the choir, which gave a musical background to the declamation, so in such a structure the choir displayed and interpreted its stage parties through declamation, singing and declamation.

Why was the opium war significant for britain
umka21 [38]

The two Opium Wars, fought from 1839-1842 and 1856-1860, have been understood by the Chinese as the beginning of their "Century of Humiliation" at the hands of Western powers, most notably Britain. 

Early in the nineteenth century, an insatiable appetite for Chinese goods, such as tea, silk and china, led Britain into a trade deficit with China. To combat that, Britain significantly increased its opium trade with China. It used opium from India, which it controlled, to finance its purchases of Chinese goods. The Chinese government, seeing the extent to which opium addiction was affecting its people, decided to enforce its ban on the opium trade. In turn, England found excuses to go to war with China and easily defeated the badly weakened country. It then imposed harsh and humiliating treaties on the Chinese, which included payment of indemnities and forcing the Chinese to cede Hong Kong to the British. Although Britain, at the time the premier world power, spearheaded the effort, other Western powers also made lucrative inroads into China.

The Opium Wars could be seen as a moral low point for Britain in its zest to exploit the resources and peoples of other nations. The Chinese tried in vain to appeal to Queen Victoria to ban the sale of opium on moral grounds, and Gladstone, the British prime minister, decried the trade as evil.

The legacy of these two wars was years of distrust in China. In the latter half of the twentieth century, the country became communist and turned inward, taking control of its own destiny and growing into a major world power determined to protect its interests in Asia. The legacy also arguably impacted twentieth-century world politics: the English and French imposed similarly humiliating terms, the Versailles treaty, on the Germans after World War I, which did not go over well with Germany, and although the period of profitable imperialism was waning, Hitler waged war in part to build a similar empire to what the British had.
